Check your bookmarked URL. The old forum had www.cockytalk.com/index.php as the main page. It is now www.cockytalk.com/forum.php. You can also just remove everything after ".com" as well. I was having to login each time until I noticed the URL change. I fixed it in my bookmark, and all is hunky dory.

That was the exact problem. I changed it and it works fine now. Thanks man.

Still some "old" CT still lurking around.

It's because of the taters. For the first week or so after the site came back up, there was none of these errors. Now that they have returned, the collective stench of Busch Lite, seminal fluid, and livestock has wafted into the circuits thus clogging the interface.

Re: New site questions

The system time thing was intentional. I noticed it years ago, and it appears to have been a workaround for some issue or another.

As for your hosts file, that IP is/was registered to cockytalk. I'm not sure why any malware writer would write something that edited your hosts file to a correct IP address. Are you certain you didn't do it yourself? Perhaps you were getting dns errors and tried that as a workaround?

Yeah it blinked a bit. I wonder if there's some errors in lying in the database. I managed a SQL database in Kuwait for a while, and we had an outage by a sort of self-inflicted injection. It makes me wonder if something like that is going on.

I probably put an entry in the Hosts file when I was having trouble with my ISP some time ago, but I wanted to see if the IP was registered to CT or if it was an IP used by malware of some kind.
